From The New York Shitty Inbox: Vans Writes…

(and I reply!)

Today, while feeling hardly at 100% (think more like 70%), I not only took a walk (and in so doing probably spread my 11222 pestilence throughout Williamsburg) but am endeavoring to catch up blog-wise. Some of you probably recall I received an item from a concerned neighbor about Van’s Opening party last weekend. I posted it— and am pleased to announce that I heard from a very nice Public Relations representative from Vans named Chris.

While very pleased with Chris’s very pro-active approach to any quality of life issues which may have arisen as a result of Vans’s opening party, I am more concerned about my friends and neighbors who live closer to said business. And exactly how said business will be operated, e.g.; a corporate headquarters which appears to also be outfitted as a performance venue. I replied:

Follows is his reply:

Where we will go from here is yet to be determined— but this is a good start! In the meantime I would like to take a moment to thank Chris for his responsiveness and willingness to meet with members of my community.

To be continued…

Williamsburg Halloween Watch: Presenting The Hipster Pumpkin

When I spied this on North 8 Street this afternoon I couldn’t help but chuckle. If what I have observed on Bedford Avenue is any indication, the glasses are spot-on— but the keffiyeh? That’s so 2009. In any case if the Great Pumpkin (a la Peanuts) is a giver of toys what— may I ask— does the hipster pumpkin dispense? That, dear readers, I will leave to your imagination (and comments)!
